Our Fleet

We have a fantastic fleet of boats catering for a range of party sizes, from intimate family gatherings to a big birthday bash. The Lady Diana is our most spacious vessel, with plenty of room to move and mingle and for hosting larger events. The Mark Twain has a beautiful lower lounge with the feel of an old-fashioned pub. The Jackie has an open top deck, making it the perfect place to sit back and sip a cold drink while admiring the scenery on a warm summer’s evening.

The Lady Diana, Mark Twain, and The Jackie all have well-stocked bars onboard as well as toilet facilities. The Lady Diana and Mark Twain are also heated and covered throughout, perfect for the cooler months. Click the link below for more information on our fleet.

Food & Drink

Whether it’s a cool glass of Pimm’s or prosecco in the summer or a hot mulled wine in winter, a reception drink served with a smile is a great way to welcome your guests aboard and cut out the initial rush for the bar.

We have a well-stocked bar onboard serving a range of beers, ciders, wines, and spirits, as well as hot drinks and soft drinks. You can just let us know if there is any particular tipple that you would like to have available. The bar accepts cash and card payments.

We use a small number of quality local suppliers to delivery delicious options for onboard catering, from canapés to afternoon tea to hot suppers. You can choose from the options in our charter brochure, or get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Entertainment

The great thing about a private party is you can choose the entertainment to suit your event. Here’s some ideas for how to entertain your guests onboard…

– One of our house DJs to keep your dancefloor full all evening
– Add karaoke to your disco – find out which of your guests has the X factor!
– Or just use our Bluetooth speaker to play your own playlist
– A fun pub quiz with music and picture rounds for a laidback evening
– Add a touch of Vegas glamour with a floating casino night featuring roulette and blackjack
– Live musical entertainment with a singer, duo, band – or event a saxophonist
– A close-up magician to wow your guests with card tricks and sleight of hand
